How does Elmhurst College handle transfer AP credits?

I've got a few AP credits from high school and I'm looking to transfer to Elmhurst College. How do they handle AP credits for transfer students? Is there a limit to how many can be applied?

Elmhurst College recognizes AP credits and will award you college credit for AP scores of 3 and above, depending on the course. The exact number of credits and where they will be applied (whether to general education requirements, your major, or elective credits) will primarily depend on the specific course and test score.

Furthermore, there's typically not a strict limit on the number of AP credits a transfer student can bring, but Elmhurst does have a residency requirement which mandates that at least 30 of the last 60 hours of coursework need to be completed at Elmhurst. So this might provide an effective upper limit to the number of transfer credits you can apply, given that AP credits are included in transfer credits.

Remember to send all your official AP score reports to Elmhurst during your application process. It would be a good idea to reach out to Elmhurst's Admission Office or the Registrar for a more detailed and personalized assessment of your situation.

Remember that while AP credit is a great way to get a head start, transfer credits aren't always a perfect match for course requirements, so in some cases you might opt to retake similar coursework to ensure you're fully prepared for advanced classes in your major.
